Natasha Lucero-Conklin^Associate Director

A California native, Natasha landed in the Roaring Fork Valley in the summer of 1997. Shortly after moving to the valley, she started working for Aspen Skiing Company and spent more than 13 years gaining experience in mountain operations and marketing. In 2011, Natasha joined the dynamic team at Backbone Media where she worked on both sides of the business – paid media and public relations – over the course of nearly eight years. At the end of 2018, she made an intentional shift to the nonprofit world in hopes of doing even more meaningful work in our community. That led her to the role of development director at Family Resource Center of the Roaring Fork Schools where, for almost three years, she had the pleasure of being part of a passionate team that increases stability and self-sufficiency for children and families. Now in the role of operations director for Aspen Hope Center, Natasha is honored to provide backend support for another outstanding team of professionals who deliver critical services in our valley, and to be part of this wonderful organization that focuses entirely on mental health.

Natasha lives in Carbondale with her husband, Mike, and their four-legged son, Murphy. She enjoys hiking, running, CrossFitting, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling (and hopes to bring kayaking back into the mix soon, too!) and spending time with family and friends. She feels blessed to call this amazing valley home and to have access to the beautiful playground in which we live.
